  LDD to MLCAD file conversion help
Posted by: Luis - 2017-03-25, 16:29 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (15)

Hello,

I am new to this community and to LDraw, MLCAD, etc.

I downloaded both the LDraw complete installer and LDD. I am trying to convert my design on LDD (.lxf) to MLCAD (.ldr), I think. However, when I do this, LDD gives me an error message: "Warning: Unable to export model" 

I am confused as to why I can't export the LDD model to MLCAD. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

LDD file attached. (Hopefully I did it right and it works).

Thanks! 
Smile

  Invisible texmap pattern
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2017-03-24, 16:25 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (13)

This part
[Image: 6110077.jpg]
is now present at the Part Tracker, but the TEXMAP pattern is not visible from behind, when I use it in LDCad, on a transparent part.


Is it possible to combine a TEXMAP pattern with a BFC NOCLIP ?
If so, how should a correct file syntax look like?

  Modelled stickers
Posted by: Evert-Jan Boer - 2017-03-23, 20:36 - Forum: Parts Authoring - No Replies

   
I have build the Bucket Wheel Excavator some days ago and found the stickers not very difficult to model. Need to create one more to complete the set, once completed and checked I will upload these, but for now a screenshot of the work done so far to let you know these are nearly completed.

All models are OMR compliant (I hope it's true ... and MPDCenter says that).

Models are posted on eurobricks.com forum too (in "official lego sets made in ldraw" thread).

Question LDCad Scripting: cannot get group position/orientation
Posted by: Greg Montgomery - 2017-03-20, 3:10 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

Hello everybody,

I have built a LEGO model comprising of submodels, groups and some scripting functions.
The problem is my local script in LDCad cannot determine the position or orientation of a (toplevel) group.
Calling group:getPosOri() always returns the identity matrix (0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1).

these are the relevant lines:

Code:
local mainsf = ldc.subfile()
local mygroup = mainsf:getGroup('MyGroup')
local posori = mygroup:getPosOri()  --> identity matrix, whereas the editor window in LDCad shows clearly different values

If required I can also provide a small working example.

Can someone please explain what is going wrong here...  Huh

using LDCad 1.6 Beta 2a

Edit: model and script added

  Referencing primtives from primitives
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2017-03-18, 21:22 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

Hello all,

I was playing with 'overriding' the stud primitive for HQ povray exports when I noticed some part not using the replacement primitive.

I did the override using a second library tree containing only a p/stud.dat file and place it at the top in the LDCad search order.

Problem is with parts using stud grids (e.g. stug-3x3.dat) the complete.zip stud.dat is still used as those files reference "stud.dat" without the leading "p/" dictating a program should first look inside the same folder as the referring part.

So my question/observation shouldn't parts inside "p/" also use "p/stud.dat" as a reference in order to maintain consistency?

EDIT: Never mind I was confusing "s/" with "p/" so there is no clean way to override them Sad
